have had enough. the placement and proximity might mean an advertising avalanche and a blitz of 2016 wannabes. patty murray will be here as the senate gets set for a final vote and we will check in with the effort to review and rebuild the gop. plus, heads uphillry clinton. a blast from the past. by the golden state's golden years, governor. good morning from washington. it's wednesday, december 18th, 2013. this is "the daily rundown." i'm chuck todd. it's not every day that we have three house retirements in one day and it's rare to have all three retirements be in district which have begun competitive for the other party. that's where we are this morning. democrat jim matheson and tom lathe am and 17-term republican

frank wolf are all calling it quits. the thing they have in common, all three face barely competitive races as they run and they each look likely to win. suddenly three more seats are up for grabs. none are ideological warriors and another way is it's a blow to the center. not much of a center in the house anymore. if there is one, all that just retired, they are in it. in utah, it's hard to imagine they can find another matheson, a lone democrat because of his unique connection to the state. even matheson was the only one who can beat back mia love. now love is the clear front-runner for the seat. in a day when so many of the congressional seats are jerry mandered, these open swing seats in iowa's third and virginia's

10th are unusual. the president won the district by less than four points with 51% of the vote and a more narrow margin. mitt romney won by a percentage point with less than 50% overall in a state that the president won overall. they are the swingiest of swing states. expect both to be nationalized and special groups to get involved and virginia because it's so close to the capital and the 2016 presidential season is gearing up. these two district races will be good bell weathers on election night to see the places you will be able to look at to see which does have a better chance at winning the big enchilada in 2016. they are winning districts like this. they will try to nationalize all three. the national republican committee said this.

this is a warning signal to democrats saying that matheson who didn't even vo et for obamacare's original passage knows he can't run and win. imagine how bad 2014 will be for the vast majority of democrat who is supported on obamacare from the start. they had this to say about iowa. the mass exodus of republicans fleeing john boehner's house is putting more and more districts into play every day. they said this on virginia. with more irresponsible brinksmanship, no wonder they are choosing to leave congress rather than defend the party's record of failing on jobs. you see the extreme messaging by both on this one. these retirements will have ripple effects, especially in iowa where there is a crowded b list field of senate republican primary candidates. there is no a-list recruit. they struck out there. it does mean that some of the senate candidates might dropout

and run for the house seat instead. they live in the lathe am district that includes des moines. it's oddly drawn for iowa. it goes from des moines to the southwest corner of the state. for boehner watcher, it's highly unlikely to speaker boehner gets choiced out of his job. he has a tighter grip over the speakership. now two of boehner's closest personal friends in congress, lathe am and senator chandler retiring after 2014. if boehner decides he doesn't want to be speaker and no one is going to know this until november and never going to give a clue. who knows. even his staff said no one knows how much longer he will be speaker. it's important to stress the word if, we can look back on a day like this and say there was a clue. right now 233 republicans in the

house and 201 democrats and one vacancy. this news brings the total number of house retirements to nine. eight of those are calling it quits are republicans and rounding out the casualty list, three resignations. 11 members of the house are running for senate. two with pennsylvania's schwartz running for governor. bill young who was announcing he was retiring passed away and there was a special election to fill his seat in march. the december holiday season would probably bring several retirement, there was yesterday and a good chance we are probably not done. don't be surprised if a few more members don't decide this is the chance to get out. they will give their party a chance to organize and recruit. the final vote on the two-year budget compromise is scheduled to take place later this afternoon. it is expected to pass. it passed the other hurdles in

congress. it's not dead. they advanced by a vote of 67-33, clearing the 60-vote margin even by a little more easily than expected. 12 voted to advance and only one of those is being challenged from the right in 2014. the six other republican senators who have significant primary challengers all voted against allowing the bill to move forward. don't expect peace, love, and harmon tow break out yet. they will expect concessions before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling in february. >> i doubt if the house or the senate is willing to give the president a clean debt ceiling increase. per are we have never done nothing. i for one think we need to do more on the energy sector and we need to approve keystone pipeline. >> democratic senator patty murray of washington shares the budget committee and hammered

out the deal with her republican counterpart. senator murray, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> congratulations. your bill is about to get through considering how little this happenings in washington, it's worthy of saying a conference committee works. congratulations on that. >> thank you very much. it's so important. so many people are tired of dysfunction and tired of everybody screams from the sidelines at each other and asking congress to to show that democracy in america can work and this is a good step forward. >> we have a low bar these days. let me start with the debt ceiling comments. was there talk of trying to get an agreement on this deal or was it decided that would be tabled? >> the debt ceiling issue was precluded from us with the legislation that passed when the government shut down ended.

i know and americans know that the reason this is an important step forward is they are tired of uncertainty and people throwing our economy into kricrs and wondering what the next crisis is going to be. >> what know what it's going to be. >> i believe they will do the right thing when it comes back to us and without preconditions or changes or any other demands from their corners will pay our bills. that's what the country wants us to do. you open to the idea of obviously congressman ryan and others say they would like something in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. are you open to having something be attached to a raise of the debt ceiling. >> the lessons from last year that holding pieces of legislation hostage to our economy and to the certainty

that american people want is wrong and i don't believe that will happen again next year either. >> you ruled it out and won't support anything that is basically or negotiation over the debt ceiling. >> look, the american people don't want individual members of congress or small groups to say my way or the highway or the economy will collapse over an issue that could be something they care about and tomorrow something i care about. it is our responsibility to ask them to pay the bills that we have required this country to pay. to find a way to do that. that's whats raising the debt ceiling is about. >> this is a two-year agreement. there is talk of trying to actually go to a two-year budgeting process and make that a permanent way that is governed. where are you on that issue? i'm focused on getting the deal done.

it is a two-year budget that allows them to function without the threat of shut down. i have not looked at legislation that changes the process, but the american people want to manage the country wisely and be proud of a country that can do that. that's what we are trying to accomplish today. >> explain how the budget process is and the president unveils something in february and the house and the senate do their budget. what's the bring going to be like. this is hammered out and what is your committee going to be working ongoing forward? >> we are focused on getting the deal done, but what i can tell you is that the appropriations committees will do their first work in many years to work together in the senate and the house and come to compromises and hopefully get our bills done before the end of the year deadline to provide certainty across the board whether in defense or agriculture or

education or research. >> we haven't talked about that and budget committees will put together the deals for the future after we get this done. i have been in discussions for the last eight weeks and six months on how to do this. we will take a look at that. we haven't made a decision yet. >> that are means thinking about the bigger and the long-term debt issue and talking about entitlements? are. >> let me get through today and then i will talk about tomorrow. we sat down and realized we would have to make steps together. none of them were easy and all of them a compromise. if we can get it done and reestablish the trust, we can pave a pathway to talk about the

rest of the challenges that face us. >> is it realistic to extend unemployment insurance? >> it impacts so many families and the economy. the majority leader said it is one of the first steps we will take. it's important to the families who are hurting so much that want to be at work and have not been able to find a job and when they can't buy groceries and get the things their i cans need, that hurts everyone in the community. i am hopeful to get that done. >> is there an easy way to pay for it? per are there is no easy way to pay for anything anymore. >> if it happens, is it more likely to be something short-term? three months or months and not a year or something like that? >> unknown at this point. by the way, we have extended unemployment insurance in the past without a specific pay for

it. it's unclear where they will come to an agreement on that along with the white house. the faaccount is that we have to make decisions. >> the democrat from washington who hammered out and the actual gavel will hit drops today. >> much more ahead here on the daily run down. he started the year with a game plan to rebuild his party to engage in minority voters. we will talk to him about the progress he believes the party has or has not made on that front. plus, a strange thing happened on the way to sochi. who is in and out? a delegation on the winter olympics and what message did the u.s. send to putin? >> a look ahead at the politics planner. sort of a michael bloomberg going away speech.

>> it's just 24%. 53% of americans blame them for the government shut down. the added problem for republicans is 2013 was not supposed to end like this. that wasn't their plan.

when the president won reelection, the republicans decided to do some soul searching as a party and listed a panel of outsiders to perform a political autopsy on what went wrong in the 2012 election. we spent three months investigating the party's weaknesses. we had suggestion are iffy for improving the party. they were honest and raw. one said the gop needs to stop talking to itself. minority outreach. here's the beginning of the year. >> we have to build better relationships and minority communities and urban centers and college towns. we need a permanent presence. >> he ends the year with new state directors in several states. but the gop continues to

struggle to rebrand itself. the latest "wall street journal" poll shows the democratic party is seen as more compassionate and willing to reach across aisle. they're the party to pass immigration reform more than the republicans. what grade would the gop give itself in 2013. good morning to you, sir. self grading. after a year when you look at the report and you look at where things stand now, is this a fair time to do a report card or should we wait a little while? >> we try to win every day as far as the committee is concerned, we operate on score cards every day and every week and every month.

what i would say we had to change about the national party, at least here at the iron sea, overall on everything we are talking about, we had to become and continue to become a year around operation. i think over the last maybe couple of decades, the rnc had become an organization that shows up once every four years, five months before an election in a massive way and electric becoming a u-haul trailer of cash hooked on to a presidential nominee. that approach of showing up every once in a while and going away for years hurt our ability to compete in national elections. what you saw this year and what you are going to see continuing to grow, you can look at the finance reports every month. you are seeing an organization with hundreds of people across the country and it's very expensive to do. i think it's more strategic and

better long-term for the organization. >> i think there is no question and i have seen the appointments you have made with the directors and stuff you have been doing in detroit. no question staffing-wise you are making outreach. the question i have is on the policy front. as you try to rebrand the party. something from the report was this. the republican party must be the champion of those who seek to climb the ladder of life. house republicans split off food stamps from the farm bill. do you think that those two, that statement and those actions by house republicans where it looks like they are taking food stamps away from people who are climbing the economic ladder, are they in conflict? >> i don't. that's obviously a spin, but what i'm trying to say to our party and people across the country is if you are not in communities, not just with one person, but hundreds of people

across ohio and across michigan, talking to people and getting to know people, then you will never be able to speak one on one about what the true policies of unlimited opportunity are all about. if you are not in hispanic communities and not in urban communities on a long-term basis and you don't represent them through the house, the senate or the assembly, how in the world are you going to get your message across? we are talking about something far more fundamental. that is the key for an organization that really are charges to be obsessed with the mechanics and obsessed with digital and data. >> you brought up the issue of really many republicans and many of these districts that republicans control don't

represent many hispanics. do you think in a way gerrymandering while it helps on the house front hurt you because you don't have many republican who is have the experience of even campaigning for hispanic folks? >> no, i get the question. what hurt us is that we had a national party. not just recently, but years and years we have not invested enough in a national presence which caused us i think to at fee in different demographics. that's states that we were once more competitive in. you look at washington and california and only compete once every four years, once every four years in about eight states

every place at officeries and that is the fundamental change. you add in the data and the primary calendar. i think the changes we have made at the rnc have been historical. they are fundamental changes. >> let's talk about social issues. in the report, this was the line in the report. when it comes to social issue, the party must mkt and indeed be inclusive and welcoming. we will limit our ability to attract old people who agree with us on some, but not all issues. you look at virginia and you can argue it was social issues that hurt you more in nowhere virginia than anything else. how do you make that statement true considering that the policies right now that some of your candidates are running on are struggling with it?

>> i don't know if that's true. ken cuccinelli won voters between 18 and 24. >> on the issue of abortion which was not a debate when you look at it, you would not think immediately that this would be a top issue. it ended up being a decisive issue. he won in the economy and the issue of health care, but among voter who is said abortion was the top issue, he got crushed. that's the difference. >> if that's the top issue. i want to make sure we set the record straight. we believe in life. we believe in traditional marriage. the platform is what it always was and i never advocated changing. i have made sure we have a tone of grace, love, and respect. 80% of the public and most

overwhelmingly most women agree that abortion after four months should be illegal. ter mcauliffe didn't agree with that. it's a matter of choosing the way you want to speak about many of the issues that are on the table. i don't believe that was the defining issue that defeated ken cuccinelli. i don't think most political observers believe that. there is a combination of things happening in virginia and one more week on the campaign and ken cuccinelli would hold off from what was once thought and won the election. i don't know if i agree with that premises, i do know that the things that i have to worry about the most are the things that are most control. what i most control are the things you and i spent the first six minutes of the conversation talking about. >> let me ask you, to weigh in here, you heart what speaker boehner said about the conservative groups and mitch connell taking on the fund.

do you think the conservative tea party interest groups are more of a problem for the republican party or an asset? >> they are an asset. i think having a diverse party -- look, mitt romney received over 60 million votes. people usually have to choose one door over the other. you have 60 million people walking through the republican door, those 60 million people will have a lot of opinions about a lot of topics. it's my job to do my best in keeping all of this together. any group or person who wants opportunity and freedom and economic security and the things that make our party and country great. i welcome them in the door. >> you are not concerned that the primaries could cost you a shot at winning control of the

senate. >> i come from a state where scott walker and ron johnson went to massive primaries. they said something and it all worked out. you build a good team environment and come out of a primary unified and i don't see a problem with that. i'm obviously part of the team to try to make it all work together. >> chairman of the rnc, an end of the year review with me. now here's hoping that aaron rogers is the starting quarterback on sunday. >> thank god. >> up next, the once and future candidate, could california's jerry brown be angling for another white house run against another clinton. we have that and more and the data bank. a politician who gives new meaning to a college candidate.

we were successful and i'm excited. >> why did you decide to run? there is certainly plenty of people that go to college or are excited about the idea of public service some day. they what drove you to say there is no time like the present? >> i believe that when god gives you a plan and follow that plan, that's what i did. i thought back when i was in about fourth or fifth grade, i had aspirations to be the president. i had aspirations to do that. when i decided to run, i ran for that six or 7-year-old boy or girl who is sitting in the same seats and had aspirations of becoming the president and feel that those dreams and those ideas are so far-fetched, i ran

to inspire a generation of leaders that have been hidden for so long. we had great feedback with that. that was one of the main reasons why i ran. to inspire my generation. >> what are reception have you gotten from your new colleagues? >> that are i are excited because i will be able to provide a different perspective. they are excited as well as i am. >> explain the balance. you are at tulane right now. you get to finish up school and they have been cooperative with your schedule. explain how you strike the balance. >> we will utilize the resources the best we can and we are going to of course stay in contact with the university and the dean of students is more than willing to work with me in any way she can. up to this point she had been gracious to me being a little

be different. we did grow up in tough times, but, you know, i think we learned from our past and that's one thing that my generation, i think, will do is to learn -- you know, to make sure that history doesn't repeat itself as far as the war in iraq, that was something that i grew up with. it's something that i remember like it was yesterday. and to wrap your mind around the idea of things like that as a young age is very tough, but i think that going forward, my generation will be, you know, the leaders of tomorrow and will make sure that we understand the things that have happened in the past and make sure they don't happen again. >> well, whether your generation likes it or not, you have to, because we're all dropping the ball these days it seems. jeremy anderson, congratulations. we're going to be watching -- >> thank you, chuck. >> -- the youngest member of the mississippi legislature in its history. the session begins january 7th. keep us up to date on what
